Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] mast pole for genoa

Interesting… That is not in the version of the SM 2K manual I have. No date or version number I can find to compare.

The thinking might be that in theory the loads of the two poles cancel each other out. In theory. But watching the twin headsails in practice, especially when sailing in a significant seaway, the loads are cyclical and the sheets load up alternately. The heavier load shifts from one side to the other. I am not at all convinced that in practice the load cancelling would be real except in flat water.
